Big-city sophistication meets carnal hunger in this devilish contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

James Rowan earns a modest income as a YouTube daredevil, but he can’t refuse Lizzy’s million dollar deal. As she polishes his rough edges, creating a sophisticated gentleman fit for the highest circles of society, not only does she bring out the perfect man - it’s like she’s making the man of her dreams. How can she resist?

Though Lizzy loves seeing James in his clothes - and out of them - he isn’t the kind of man you bring home to Daddy. Her father’s disapproval and the pressure of the campaign have her eyeing the straight and narrow, but Lizzy’s finding it awfully hard to resist the devil on her shoulder…

Worth the credit

This book had a pretty original storyline. Lizzy has been working her whole life to prove herself to her father but he has yet to notice her abilities. So when it falls to her to find a new model for the famous Banks Mensware Line she feels the pressure to produce greatness. But when all of the top models turn her down she stumbles upon inspiration in a dank, seedy bar. Now she just has to transform him into the "perfect man" without anyone finding out that she found him in the gutter.

A reverse Pretty Woman story

I loved this book. I think I read about 20% and decided that I needed to buy this book. It reminded me of Pretty Woman so if you like that concept I think you'll like this book. Lizzy is under a lot of pressure to perform because her father, the owner of a mens' fashion conglomerate, will need a successor and she believes she should be the one. She can't get any one to sign on as the face of their new line until she finds Jimmy, a youtube stunt man. Jimmy or James becomes her muse. Shades of Pygmalion arise and the question is whether their attraction and love can survive their significant class differences. Lots of emotion and i loved the characters. I wished Lizzy would have stood up more to her father and I have to admit, I wished I could have slapped her father some times. But the characters were so well done and while this is my first book from Katy Evans, it won't be my last. I did listen to the audiobook a bit too and both Grace Grant and Ryan West did a great job with the different characters, both male and female. Good pacing, easy to listen to and enjoyable overall.

Great narration, MEH! On the chemistry

The strongest asset this audio has is the narration and how spot on it is. If I would have had to read it IDK if I would have finished it. There was a disconnect, for me, between the main characters and I just couldn't engage with them as I would have liked. I found the heroine weak and lacking a back bone, and I can't deal with characters that need to be in constant pursuit of validation. A 3/5 stars.

Review: Million Dollar Devil

Million Dollar Devil by Katy Evans is a standalone rags-to-riches trope with the heroine finding the face of her new mens clothing line in a seedy bar one night. Well-written and well-paced, supremely hot with back and forth tension between these two that is palpable throughout the story. This story was fantastic. A refreshing twist on the millionaire trope with the rich one being the woman and the not-so-rich one being the male but never once did it emasculate him. A typically awesome Katy Evans book and a must-read, in my opinion. Enjoy!

The narrators were on point. They managed to showcase the characters nuances and emotions and listening/reading with whisper-sync was seamless with their skill and Katy's writing.

great listen

Katy Evans wrote this detailed story of the transformation of Jimmy, a street guy that was transformed to the leading face of Banks suits and clothing line. This story is fascinating and informative of what it takes to make this man.
Then the true value of either money or happiness.
